😂😂😂😂😂😂😂😂😂 topic at 2 and risacher at 5 🤡🤡🤡🤡🤡. and that red or whatever. at 2😂 homie not gonna be on the nba after first season.. also that 5'9 dillingham same thing gonna get crushed.. if you 6'3-4 and dont have kyrue handles or steph 3 then just change league nba aint for you
Spurs should grab 2 of either Zaccharie, Matas, Cody Williams or Ron Holland & maybe Topic if he falls to 8 but I think they should wait until next draft to get their pg of the future
The Spurs would be foolish to pair Rob Dillingham with Victor. Rob has the attitude of the person who believes he’s going to be an MVP someday. You do not need him to get in the way of Victors development.
The Spurs will take Risacher if he’s there at 4, it’s not even a question. They’ve gone to see him play on 2 separate occasions, once was RC Buford and the other was owner Peter Holt. Dilly will be there at 8, the Spurs will take him then. Pistons take Buzelis at 5 since Risacher goes to the Spurs at 4.
The team needs a PG and he'll be the best prospect available at 4. Gambling and waiting for pick #8 only makes sense if you think Risacher is the sort of prospect that warrant ignoring team need because his talent ceiling is high. I personally don't value his shot making more than filling the need at guard.
@@dillamadukes21 Nonsense. Teams with picks 5-7 don't really need a PG so PGs who fell to 4 will fall to 8 (even if maybe one of them will be picked) : that's not gambling, that's optimizing. Spurs is very well managed : they know their job and do it well. In the worst situation if they don't have a PG they can pick a backup center and most of all a 3nD wing. If not by drafting, they have everything they need to trade for a better PG than any 2024 rookie. Dillingham isn't Steve Nash and he won't be a starter at his 5th game like TP was. You act as if Spurs only or mostly need a PG : they sure need one but no hurry. The Sochan/Branham experiment is over and Pop won't tank this year. Anyway Dillingham is not the better 2024 PG prospect.
Spurs fans do not want Reed Sheppard’s college teammate, Rob Dillingham. At 6-1 and 159 pounds, he will get crushed by the NBA’s physicality. Dillingham plays no defense and that will not make him popular with Greg Popovich. Dalton Knecht enters the draft as one of the oldest dudes going in. Not a good pick. If healthy, the Spurs should take Nikola Topic. If Topic is not healthy, they should go for Zaccharie Risasher and Matas Buzelis with their first two picks.
I agree with what you say about Dillingham but i remember many people said Wemby was a french baguette and would be broken in pieces by NBA's physicality... Being very fast and agile can be another way to survive on the field. Anyway Dilly is not the best prospect PG in this draft. Topic is much better but his knee...
I don’t get why people say knecht is bad defensively he developed so much defensively in one year with Rick Barnes if he also has good coaching in the nba he will continue to develop defensively
I think he would fit in Charlotte. I'm coming around on it. I still think if Castle or Holland are on the board Charlotte needs to prioritize defense and secondary playmaking but if Knecht is a flamethrower, I am happy taking him at 6.
@@inniciwetrust2039yes it’s not hard imo he’s the backup sg and guards the pg everyone else is big enough to guard other positions and he’s the perfect pg defender he’s a generational shooting version of T.J McConnell bare minimum
@@inniciwetrust2039 Reed would backup Fred and Amen would back up Brooks or Smith as a point forward. Amen is good, but can’t shoot and doesn’t dribble well. No way could he be the starting PG for the Rockets. Give me Reed for the future after Fred leaves.
@@mr.a6412 right. Reed’s lack of size is mitigated since the Rockets are huge at every other position. Plus it isn’t like Sheppard is a defensive liability either
Bro, I watch and read a ton of spurs news And more.. it’s been said if Risacher is on the board there is NO WAY they will pass on him .. they select him over ROB. Let’s not forget the spurs GM and owner have been attending most of Risacher game in person and both stated they absolutely love his game and IQ. Yeah, no way they pass on him if he’s available. Also, rob is a Huge defensive liability.. No way spurs don’t draft not one top defender! Bro, you need to study the teams in the lottery if you wanna make a solid mock!
Yes, the Kings need some rim protection. But drafting Missi to backup Sabonis and play maybe 10 minutes a game, doesn't really do anything to help. Missi won't play with Sabonis as the spacing would be terrible.
We must stop this lottery system, and make matches between the last 3 of each conference. The 3 winners take the first 3 places according to their ranking.
I don't think Spurs will take Dilly with their 4th pick if Risacher is available. There are many interesting PG prospects in this draft and their #8 pick will be enough to take one : a good 3nD player is their top priority to space the floor and we all know Pop loves overseas players : he won't chose 2 american guys in the first round because this draft is average but deep. Obviously, Sarr won't fall to #4 and Topic seems to be injury prone so... wait and see who will be picked in #1-3. Teams which are #5-7 don't really need a PG : Dilly could be there for Spurs #8 pick and they have 2 second round picks to find a backup center... or they take a center with their #8 and wait for a traded vet PG, maybe next year. Salaun could be a surprise pick too. Anyway, Spurs will be far better than in 2024 : no problem to be a play in team or even better. GSG.
Topic doesn’t make sense if you have a Deni avdija imo both similar style players that like the ball in their hands. And also Jordan Poole will probably start at pg and will share playmaking duties with Deni. But Poole can also play off ball so he and Deni can complement each other.
I think Toronto will draft edey 19 (is his stock doesn’t continue to rise) the raptors definitely like to have Canadian players on their team (RJ Boucher just to name a few) and edey being from Toronto and potentially being a long term Poetl replacement makes sense. I just don’t think Masai is dumb enough to take another 6’9 forward like we do every single draft
Very good choice that you selected for my cavs at 20th Thank you I want to shake your hand 🤝🏾, a lot of bum cavs fan want to take a center while the priority must be a creator scorer tired of seeing my team depend on Mitchell or Garland in offense because the others (Strus Okoro Niang Levert) cant create a shoot
I think San Antonio needs more shooting. Holland is another floor constrictor (assuming the shot doesn’t improve). My whole thing is that they should be looking for fits around Wemby. Rob/Knecht makes more sense to me. Fwiw though Holland is like the #3 player on my board.
I like the Dillingham Knecht idea. I think that would add a lot of shot making and Wemby will find them out of double teams. But what about Castle at 4? Could he be another Derrick White eventually?
@@BobbyDouglasBasketball I like the idea of Kyshawn George from Miami with the Spurs @ 8 more than Knecht. With George, you're getting elite shooting upside, ball handling, and playmaking in a younger package that better complements how the Spurs like their offence to flow and their timeline. Knecht's more of an offensive dynamo that hunts his own shots and at his age I think he'd be a better fit for a team looking to make a playoff run.
Great vid🙏🏿 . Spurs should 100% take dillingham . But i have a strange feeling about Matas i think hes gonna be crazy in a few years and i think spirs should take him but we also need the knecht shooting .its so tough 😂
Spurs really don't necessarily need a super point guard like rob or topic..trae jones is enough..if you take at look at their last 5 games, those are the glimpse of what the spurs are really are on 24-25 season..wemby needs a wing that plays offball, can shoot 3's and ability to drive to the basket..so that when hes doubled or tripled and to reposition his self to post..2 of these players can be reliable if wemby needs to pass the ball out.. matas buzelis Zaccharie Risacher If those 2 above are not available Dalton Knecht Tristan Da Silva Kyle Filipowski Kel 'el Ware
Pretty bad mock tbh, why the hell would sacramento take another when they need a 3 and D guy, a guy like ja'kobe, why would chicago take another guard, when they CLEARLY need a pf, a guy like tidjan salaun, and why the hell would denver take another forward, a back up pg is what they're getting
@@jermaineknowles87 No I mean this guy I replied to was upset the Wizards didn’t get 1 pick even though they got a 2 pick. It doesn’t really matter because this draft class sucks. I said getting 2 is good because the Wizards didn’t move down like teams like Detroit, Charlotte, and Portland.
Am i a fool or this mock draft is a fraud ? If Risacher falls to 4, no way Spurs forget him and take Dillingham as teams with picks 5-7 don't need a PG and Spurs can have a PG with #8. Anyway not sure Topic will be #2 and Sheppard won't be top 3. If Sarr isn't available, Risacher, Castle could be good #4 and Salaun, Sheppard, Dillingham, Topic, Buzelis, Clingan, Holland, Knecht could be #8 depending on the first player picked. Pop needs 3 guys : a PG, a backup center and a good 3nD wing so they could draft 2 and trade for the other one.
They desperately need someone who can get the ball to Wemby. I think Dillingham can do that. Knecht gives them a bailout perimeter scoring option that they could use too.
@@BobbyDouglasBasketball Kyshawn George from Miami is a French wing that shot 40% from 3 and has on ball play making upside. If the spurs want a perimeter threat that complements their star and current roster, I think he'd be a better fit long term.
Prolly the best mock I’ve seen great video 👏🏽
Probably one of the best mocks ive seen, would love matas nd cody to the blazers
Hell no, this mock is horrible tbh

Topic won't be 2nd!
Knee injuries are too much of a subject.
And if Risascher is still available for the 4th pick, Spurs will take him.
The Spurs would be foolish to pair Rob Dillingham with Victor. Rob has the attitude of the person who believes he’s going to be an MVP someday. You do not need him to get in the way of Victors development.
WHAT?
Spurs honestly are probably going to draft risacher and castle they are really high on risacher
Risacher at #4 and Castle at #8 or if Castle don't fall there maybe Salaun... Spurs love overseas surprises...
The Spurs will take Risacher if he’s there at 4, it’s not even a question. They’ve gone to see him play on 2 separate occasions, once was RC Buford and the other was owner Peter Holt. Dilly will be there at 8, the Spurs will take him then.

Great mock. Can tell a lot of time went into creating this.
Horrible mock*
No way thunder doesn’t draft Williams if he falls which he most likely won’t
Topic and Knecht could be the next Parker/Ginobili combo. But Topic is injured yet again. So I think he wont be a top 2 no more.
Oso Ighodaro would be a great fit for Boston as a potential to supplement a declining Al Horford. Great mock otherwise!
Would love Reed Sheppard to Houston. Fantastic pick
